Book Review of Birth Journeys – by Kylie Sheffield, published in Birth Matters, Journal of Maternity Coalition

“When I was pregnant with my first child, my lovely wise mum told me to be careful what I read and loaned me her treasured copy of Frederick Leboyer’s Birth Without Violence. Three babies (and four years on Birth Matters) later, the list of books I loan and recommend to pregnant friends and loved ones is extremely short. Leonie MacDonald’s Birth Journeys has just joined it.” ~ Kylie Sheffield, previous editor of Birth Matters.
